Starting the engine

1. Turn the key to 3 (ON) without

turning the key to 4 (START). If

there is difficulty in turning the key,

rotate the steering wheel until the

key turns freely. This condition may

occur when:

• the front wheels are turned

• a front wheel is against the curb

2. Turn the key to 4 (START), then

release the key as soon as the

engine starts. Excessive cranking could damage the starter.

Note: If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,

turn the key to OFF, wait 10 seconds and try again. If the engine still

fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try again; this will

allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off in case the engine is

flooded with fuel.

Cold weather starting (flexible fuel vehicles only)

As the outside temperature approaches freezing, ethanol fuel distributors

should supply winter grade ethanol (same as with unleaded gasoline). If

summer grade ethanol is used in cold weather conditions, you may

experience increased cranking times, rough idle or hesitation until the

engine has warmed up. Consult your fuel distributor for the availability of

winter grade ethanol.

Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds at a time as starter

damage may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to OFF and

wait 30 seconds before trying again.

Do not use starting fluid such as ether in the air intake system. Such

fluid could cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible

personal injury.

If you should experience cold weather starting problems on E

ethanol,

and neither an alternative brand of E

ethanol nor an engine block

heater is available, the addition of unleaded gasoline to your tank will

improve cold starting performance. Your vehicle is designed to operate

on E

ethanol alone, unleaded gasoline alone, or any mixture of the two.

See Choosing the right fuel in the Maintenance and Specifications

chapter for more information on ethanol.
